What Is Light? Lesson 109

We see and use light every day, but have you ever wondered what is light? Why can we see colors? And how did God use light at the very beginning?We’re exploring how light travels in waves and photons, why objects bounce colors into our eyes, and even how creatures glow using living light (bioluminescence) and reflective light (biofluorescence). We’ll hear how in Genesis 1:1-5 God said, “Let there be light,” and see how that shines into our lives today. Get ready to discover the amazing science of light — and the One who IS the Light!
